Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not going to give the Deputy absolutes. There are always exceptions when it comes to the complexity of homelessness. We are trying to get families out of unsuitable, expensive hotel accommodation into much more suitable temporary accommodation if that is what is needed in the short term. In the long term, we are trying to get them tenancies either through HAP or in social housing. I will happily talk to the Deputy in some detail about the individual projects as they emerge, but I am not going to start giving him absolutes about all 150 families, because I do not think I can stand over that fully. Different families need different solutions. Our job is to work with them all with generosity and compassion.
